Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Champagne or Sparkling Wine, chilled (preferably brut or extra dry)
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain), optional but recommended
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sparkling water, chilled
- Fresh fruit slices (oranges, lemons, raspberries or strawberries) for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Chill all your liquids and glassware for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Slice oranges and lemons thinly; rinse and pat dry any berries.
- Juice the oranges to get about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh juice.
- In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the fresh orange juice with elderflower liqueur and stir gently.
- Slowly pour in the chilled bottle of champagne and sparkling water, stirring very gently to preserve bubbles.
- Add the fruit slices, berries, and enough ice to keep the punch cold without diluting it. Stir gently once more.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a splash of honey or a pinch of sugar; add more elderflower liqueur or peach schnapps for a stronger punch.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, making sure each glass gets some fruit.
Notes
Keep all liquids and glassware chilled to preserve bubbles. Stir gently to avoid losing carbonation. Add fruit and ice just before serving to prevent bitterness and dilution. Fresh juice is preferred over store-bought for best flavor. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling white grape juice and elderflower syrup.
